Jason Weeby

Founder and principal consultant at Periscope Advising, a solo strategy practice. Co-author with Babak Mostaghimi of the Measures, Metrics, and Indicators for the Third Horizon brief (December 2025). Weeby is the external strategy partner on the project; LearnerStudio commissioned the work and Periscope Advising provided the strategic synthesis.

Practice description

The MMI brief describes Periscope Advising in Weeby's bio:

"A solo strategy practice that helps leaders make high-stakes decisions and answer complex questions with a human-led, AI-enhanced approach."

That phrasing — human-led, AI-enhanced — is consistent with the MMI brief's own posture on AI's role in measurement (R&D area #3's "embedded, real-time assessments that use AI" and area #5's UX Labs for surfacing "creepy" tooling). The brief treats AI as a tool integrated into human judgment rather than a replacement for it; Weeby's practice frames itself the same way.

Role in the MMI project

Co-author of the MMI brief; the brief's only other named author beyond Babak Mostaghimi. The brief does not break out which sections each author drove, so attribution of specific arguments has to be at the project level rather than the author level.

Visible positions

The MMI brief is the only source ingested where Weeby has a substantive public position. Through the brief, his (and Mostaghimi's) joint argumentation:

  • Names the implementation gap as the field's central choke point.
  • Rejects the rigor-vs-relevance trade-off as a false choice.
  • Proposes six R&D investment areas focused on shared infrastructure, system-level research, better instrumentation, funder-innovator alignment, youth co-design, and market-making for better tools.

Follow-ups

  • Whether Periscope Advising has a public portfolio or published methodology — would help substantiate Weeby's practice posture beyond the MMI brief's bio line.
  • Whether Weeby has co-authored other work in the H3 measurement / future-of-learning space, with LearnerStudio or other clients.
  • The brief implies but doesn't confirm that Weeby was contracted specifically for the MMI project; the relationship's ongoing scope is not described.
